Extended Essay The extended essay has to be more than 2,000 words. Some problems students have are for example the amount of material, the background material and the complexity of the argument. I’m going to give you some information on these so you can understand what the extended essay is all about. The amount of material used in this essay has to be a 2 year long research. Try not to put in things that are irrelevant to the topic or that is not as important because you will get off topic. Try to have a well stated thesis to guide you better in the process. The background material is also very important, first off because the reader is not aware of this topic, they do not know about this as much as we do, so we have to try to give them some background on this so they could understand and know about the topic. It is also good to add facts so the readers are sure about what you are talking about. You have to make sure everything is in order and it looks like you know what you are talking about. Complexity of argument is just organizing your arguments in the right order.
